WTF is all this about.

How have these b******s managed to hi-jack the email addresses ?

They seem to being splurged all over Usenet. Notice
the Approved: lines in the headers, which (I think)
is the line that enables them to infest even some of
the moderated newsgroups.

They think it is funny.

When I first came onto Usenet (in early 1997) the
number of pig-ignorant arsewipes that there are
around the world came as quite a surprise.

Usenet really went down several years before 1997 IMO.
September 93 (when AOL users got a newsfeed) was really bad.

Then in 94, Cantor and Seagull started spamming.
